The Madeleine McCann Thread

"It has been claimed"

And later refuted due to misinterpretation of British DNA evidence by Portuguese police….


British DNA analysis
Material, including hair and other fibres, was collected from the areas in the apartment and car that the dogs had reacted to, and was sent to the Forensic Science Service (FSS) in Birmingham for DNA profiling.[65] The FSS used a technique known as low copy number (LCN) DNA analysis, which they had developed in 1999.[66] LCN DNA is used when only a few cells are available for testing; it is viewed as controversial because the test is more sensitive than other techniques, and therefore more vulnerable to contamination and misinterpretation.[67] On 3 September 2007 John Lowe of the FSS emailed Detective Superintendent Stuart Prior of the Leicestershire police to say that a sample from the boot of the car contained 15 out of 19 of Madeleine's DNA components. He wrote that the result was "too complex for meaningful interpretation":
A complex LCN [low copy number] DNA result which appeared to have originated from at least three people was obtained from cellular material recovered from the luggage compartment section ... Within the DNA profile of Madeleine McCann there are 20 DNA components represented by 19 peaks on a chart. ... Of these 19 components 15 are present within the result from this item; there are 37 components in total. There are 37 components because there are at least 3 contributors; but there could be up to five contributors. In my opinion therefore this result is too complex for meaningful interpretation/inclusion. ... The individual components in Madeleine's profile are not unique to her; it is the specific combination of 19 components that makes her profile unique above all others. Elements of Madeleine's profile are also present within the profiles of many of the scientists here in Birmingham, myself included. It's important to stress that 50% of Madeleine's profile will be shared with each parent. It is not possible, in a mixture of more than two people, to determine or evaluate which specific DNA components pair with each other. ... Therefore, we cannot answer the question: Is the match genuine, or is it a chance match.[68]
The email was translated into Portuguese on 4 September. Portuguese police nevertheless told Gerry McCann on 7 September that Madeleine's DNA had been found in the boot of the car and behind the sofa in the apartment.[69] Both Kate and Gerry were named as suspects that day.[70]
Journalists in Portugal were told that the DNA evidence was a "100 percent match."[71] A British tabloid published the front-page headline, "Brit Lab Bombshell: Car DNA is 100% Maddie's," while another reported that "a clump of Maddie's hair" had been found in the car.[72] Jerry Lawton, a reporter with the Daily Star, a British tabloid, told the Leveson Inquiry in 2012 that the leaks came directly from the Portuguese police, and caused a "sea change" in the way the case was viewed by the media.[73] Matt Baggott told the inquiry that it was this misinterpretation of the DNA evidence by the Portuguese police that led them to conclude that the McCanns had faked an abduction to cover up Madeleine's death. Baggott knew that the DNA evidence was being wrongly interpreted, but because the Portuguese were in charge of the inquiry, he did not correct reporters who were being briefed by Portuguese police that the McCanns were involved.[8]
On 5 September, according to Kate writing in 2011, the Polícia Judiciária proposed that, if she were to admit that Madeleine had died in an accident in the apartment and that she had hidden the body, she might only serve a two-year sentence; Gerry would not be charged and would be free to leave.[74]

OP believes this shit, and then spreads it on the internet without any evidence or intelligence. OP is a prick of the highest order and needs to get a hobby rather than blaming grieving parents for killing their own kid.

Wasnt Gerry mc cann on a sex register

When Gerry was asked about the findings of the Cadaver dogs, here was his reply...
"Ask the dogs" was his reply.....The sick murdering nonse cunt

They are saying the e-fit is of the same person. Smith said he was 60-80% sure it was Gerry McCann carrying the girl. Given that the e-fits seem entirely different, it seems they are putting his observations at about 40% now. More muddying.....All in the name of Freemasonry covering up

^THAT^

For those of you who read his stuff, Chris Spivey's site is down, hard.

He has been following the Maddy story for a long time.

Gerry McCann is a doctor in a hospital, he would reek of death, he works with dead people all the time.

It was an interview he was in, someone implying he killed his own fucking kid! Bound to get a bit shirty.

Now i know that explanation wont change your mind because you KNOW THEY DID IT don't you. You are going to go you whole life thinking it, even when the case is solved and the Mccanns are proved completley innocent,

Get a grip. You've got nothing. It was probably that perv hewlett. he nicked maddie, fucked her, killed her and buried her. Like he did leslie molseed.

Then by that logic the dogs would have smelled death in more than just behind the sofa, in the bottom of the wardrobe, in the car boot and on Kate's trousers, yes?

He's a fucking legend.

Nope. That's not how it works.

THE parents of Madeleine McCann are holding a star-studded party to boost their fund to find her.

Kate and Gerry, both 41, are charging £150-a-ticket to attend the dinner and auction as the 1,000-day anniversary of their daughter's disappearance draws near.

Invited guests include Virgin tycoon Sir Richard Branson, 59, Harry Potter author JK Rowling, 44, and Radio Five's Nicky Campbell, 48, along with the McCanns' backer, Scottish double-glazing tycoon Brian Kennedy, 49.

The bash at The Roof Gardens in Kensington, west London, on January 27 will swell the dwindling coffers of the fund. Nearly £2million has been donated since Maddie, then three, vanished on May 3, 2007. The McCanns insist Maddie was abducted from their Portuguese holiday apartment.

But Kate and Gerry fear donations may dry up after they attended a Portuguese court last week to ban a book about the case.



Who the fuck would get this exposure if one of our kids went missing.....Even after we left them alone.

So it's just limited to a few places? C'mon, the dogs would have picked it up on him as well as other places, if this is the case.
:Expert:

Its limited to the places and items the police put the dogs into sniffing.

What is more likely. (IN YOUR OPINION) Local nonce nicks kid and kills her or daddy kills kid, hides the body, causes international controversy, fronts a massive campaign.

Hewlett was a proven child molester, abductor and was wanted for murdering another little girl. He also happened to be in the area and then left the next day and looks juts like a witness photo fit.

And yet the evidence points to the McCanns...

They let the dogs sniff the whole apartment, suitcases, grounds etc. With the car, they used a car park with many cars in, then let each dog loose in turn, both located the vehicle and and went directly into the boot when opened.

WHat evidence?

So the Portuguese police haven't prosecuted because they don't want to annoy the UK?

Whats the motivation?
Whats the evidence?

They have nothing at all except a dog barking and that wouldn't stand up in court.

No DNA, No Blood. A crime scene so contaminated it is almost useless, a corrupt inept police force. Who haven't bothered in 6 years because they don't want to spoil tourism. It took them days to get search dogs to look for the kid, the list of stupidity goes on and on and it doesn't end in a McCann conviction.

Could you explain the evidence that she WAS abducted then ? Thanks Gerry
